Cool. My first shiny is technically the red gyarados from hgss. But that was part of the story so it doesn’t really count.

The first shiny I saw was a yellow geodude when I was playing Pokémon diamond when I was 7 years old. I was dumb and thought it was a glitch and ran away.

A few years later I saw another shiny. It was a green kakuna. I thought it was just a form change and didn’t think about catching it. Even if I did realise it was shiny, it was BEFORE you get pokeballs in the game.

I never saw another shiny until about July this year when I was training my Pokémon in Pokémon sun. A green pelliper which I accidentally killed by using dazzling gleam from my level 100 tapu Koko.

Then in September this year I saw a shiny weedle in pokemon y. I freaked out and I actually caught it. My first shiny. It’s currently a beedrill now and it looks so cool.
